Mega Rad Gun Thread

my favorite paul video was during the BLM protests where he said something like people need to consider .22LR because now we have a threat environment where you could encounter large numbers of assailants and you can carry like 200 rounds of it in a jacket pocket. So if your vehicle gets disabled you can make an escape on foot and remain a lethal threat. That or the one where he goes into a grocery store full of shoppers and starts talking about how shit would go down if someone shot up the place and everyone who steps into the frame looks very uncomfortable.
 
Some men were just born with America's rugged spirit infused into their very souls. A rare quality that makes them a shining example of the ideals and practical wisdom that built this great nation of ours. Paul Harrell was one of those men. Nobody else will be able to take his place unfortunately, however, his teachings will forever live on in the hearts and minds of millions. Thank you for everything you did, now enjoy your retirement alongside the other legends of firearm history.

Now it is time for me to rewatch all his old videos while downing some good whiskey to soothe my sorrows because another piece of America is lost.

What I've liked the most about Paul is how he never tried to brag or use his authority to compel the viewer to agree with him, instead having his skill and knowledge do the talking. Something to take away no matter what you do.
Watching that video and hearing his voice waver was excruciating. He will be missed.
 

Rest in peace Paul.

@Null feature this, Paul Harrell is a legend.

Edit: Paul Harrell had this video prepared. God bless him and his family.
I wanted to add one more post about Paul.

I was listening to this with my wife earlier today. It must be a hell of a thing to know that your time is coming very soon and nothing can stop it, and to then record a video about it with such steady professionalism. At this age in my life I've seen a fair few men either die in front of me or know their death is imminent. I've only seen three whose bravery I hope I can emulate when it's my turn. Paul is one those.

We lost a legend today, boys.
Tbh I never really liked his content. He was a smug fudd and some of his opinions and advice was really retarded.

That being said, he seemed like a genuinely good person, and his death is very tragic. I will keep his family in my prayers.
 
Didn't even know about this dude until now and I still got emotional watching the prerecorded video. I even gave a chance to watch one of his videos and I really did like it. I'm not into guns but I love hearing people just naturally talking about the things they're passionate about, the kind of thing you hardly see on YouTube nowadays. Not using dumb edits, not speaking with a weird microphone, not trying to "beat the haters".

Just simply talking about how stupid fake experts are over people who're actually knowledgeable of what they talk about.

Rest in peace, Harrell. Didn't know you until now but I already feel like I've known you for months.

Buying some Poptarts in his honor.
 
Rest easy Paul.
He was a good man and the world is a slightly worse place without him around. Thoughts and prayers with his family. I'm gonna miss him
The title "I'm Dead" is honestly pretty funny and very Paul Harrell. RIP, nigga was a real one.
Signing off with "as always - don't try this at home" made me snort whiskey out of my fucking nose and it burns.
Guy was a legend right to the end.
 
In the event no one else does it for him:
I don't have a bugle but I'm putting my flag at half mast this morning.
"How to spot a fake expert."

It was a big influence on me when I was in the firearms business. It really helped me shape the way I approached situations where something I wasn't familiar with came up. Instead of "that doesn't exist", my default response became "that isn't something I'm familiar with". It helped reinforce a humble approach to firearms and sales in general that I've carried forward with me in the various careers I've had in the last decade.

Despite being an "e-celeb" or whatever anyone cares to describe him as, Paul was very grounded in the real world, was a very sensible person, and his manner of explaining things and his approach to sharing knowledge was a big influence on me. Even though it wasn't a surprise, especially considering the video they uploaded yesterday, his death has hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. I'm grateful that he left his knowledge with the world.
The part at the end of his "Rebuttal" video where he dumps out a box full of shooting awards like a mic drop was fucking kino.
